It's been coooold here the last few days! Just about freezing at night and low forties in the daytime with sunny skies. Today it's 60 and ready to rain. Two days from now it will be close to freezing again. Winter is like that here.

My friend Robert from next door and I got together to exchange some X-mas gifts Thursday. One of my gifts was some cologne, a kind of joke present, called Bod Man.



There were three kinds! They are named "X", Fresh Blue Musk and Really Ripped Abs! Hilarious! I tried some of the Really Ripped Abs and suddenly felt myself bursting with teen-tosterone! hehe

I've got to pack today for Vegas, (which involves cameras, batteries, cords, etc. in addition to the more regular stuff). I spent an hour and a half on the phone with tech support because my laptop was behaving stupidly. Finally got it fixed although for a while I thought I was going to have to send it in. So I should be able to do updates from Vegas. I just hope the Tropicana doesn't charge for local calls. I've got a really early flight tomorrow; should get to the airport around five, even though I know I'll spend an hour just sitting around after I get there. You just never know when something stupid will happen and screw the whole situation up!

I've had a funny hat episode; sometimes I just can't resist the urge to wear some odd piece of headgear! Pics are on the message board.

And I've been listening to Shimmerplanet a lot! I admit that I was worried that I wouldn't like it and have to think of something nice to say about it, but that's not the case. I really love it! I'd recommend it to anybody.

Next report from Las Vegas!
